Discovering Discipleship

Look at what happened when the small group prayed after Peter and John were released from prison.

When they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God with boldness.   Acts 4:31


Repeatedly we hear that when the believers prayed that God be with them and strengthen them the result took them into places of the mind, heart and soul that were previously unknown.  The foundation of their life was Christ -- solid!  But that foundation shook the structures of their life.  The words they spoke, rooted in Christ, were activated with a boldness that gave them power and authority in His Name.  


Wow!  


That is still happening today.  


When we worship each Sunday and pray together, do we trust that the place in which we gather will shake? When we go out in His Name how do we pay attention to the Holy Spirit's nudges that guide and energize us?  


I invite each one of you reading this post to visit CRLC's new online resource,  Discovering Discipleship, which will be up and running in the next few days.  It is a place for you to visit in the days following Sundays sending words:  Go in peace, serve the poor!  Go in peace, share the Good News!  (or any number of sendings).  


The point is, Sundays and our worship experiences are the bookends for our ministry during the other days of the week.  We want to be intentional about discovering how God is guiding us through the world, because discipleship isn't always the first (or dominant) thing on our minds all seven days of the week.  


Discovering Discipleship postings will appear at least twice a week.  Come.  Be open to discovering the path God is placing before you as you "Go in peace".
